In Latin, PELAGIA means “coming from the sea”, nocti stands for “night”, whereas luca means “light”. Light is given off in the form of flashes when the jellyfish is stirred up by turbulence created by waves or a ship’s motion. Being a cnidarian, it poses a significant threat to human health! Poisonous tentacles of the jellyfish can painfully sting a swimmer. Fortunately for the beachgoers, Pelagia noctiluca is a deep-sea animal. If you like to admire its bioluminescent abilities, better visit an oceanarium!
